There is so much comfort in this verse! Can you just lean the ear of your spirit deep into the Father's loving heart and hear these words as though they were written just for you? "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go." I will counsel you and watch over you!" What promises! What a feeling of safety! What a release from the lie that you have to "go it alone" or "figure out life" yourself today.

And now the Father's words to you.... "My child, it is the longing of My heart to carry you today. It is the passion of My heart to show you that My ways and My plans for your life are so much more excellent than the ones you could ever choose on your own.

Many of you are at crossroads in your life. Trust Me. Come hide away with Me. Come and wait in My Presence, and I will show you the way you should go! And, more than that, I will not just point you in the direction, but I will watch over you with My tender love and strong arms of protection. I will speak a word in your ear loudly enough for you to hear, "This is the way, walk in it."

I have never desired for any of My children to flounder about, to wonder aimlessly, or to lose their way! It has always been My desire as Father and Good Shepherd to lead, to instruct, to teach, to guide, and to watch over you. Fear not yielding the whole of your life to Me each day and I will show you a more excellent way! Confusion will flee and anxieties will vanish, for they cannot have the power to conquer you when they see your hand slipped into Mine and see Me leading you along the paths I have already mapped out for you!"
